If possible i would like to have the names scroll instead of just expand the block size. And would it be possible to make two different servers populate the same block side-by-side in a middle block section?

If some one could do this i would be more then willing to work out a financial reimbursement for their time.

Please contact me through PM.

Hey Attica

You can probably sort much of this out for yourself and everything you mention is definately achievable.

You can use the sample block code (block-sample.php) below to build your block - simply remember that everything you wish to display must be added to the $content string, so modify this string to change what is displayed...

Yes, this would take a little longer though and may require some javascript?

Yes, you would need to make a second block though, in which you'd have to change your script to connect to a different server.

Hope this helps,

I created the block using the code you gave.. Not it just make everything on my site disappear...

Sometime sit sucks so much to be a noob. Especially when trying to do something that is apparently WAYYY over my head.

Also i made a copy of the "working" block file. Renamed it, and changed the ip it looked for. Hoping to at least get both of our servers showing partially.

I found that even though i changed the name of the second one, as well as the ip... I cant run both blocks at the same time... One makes the other fail.. But if i turn one, Either one, off the other works fine..

It is a good thing i shave my head.. Cause otherwise i would have no hair...
